Auburn Most Balanced Offense in the Nation
Just looked on ESPN stats and it is unbelievable to me that we can be this balanced.

Pass Yds - 2322
Rush Yds - 2300
Pass Yds per game - 232.2
Rush Yds per game - 230

and we're the #2 total offense in the nation well behind #1 Houston.

Pretty exciting to say the least to be an Auburn fan because once Malzahn gets his guys in, and once we get that depth fixed then we're going to be next to impossible to stop is what it looks like.

I just hope we get the players to become more effective against better defenses.

I am really not worried about that because it's already been proven we can find holes in good defenses. You need to remember, Malzahn's playbook is like an encyclopedia. We have only just scratched the surface of that thing because it's the first year in this offense and we are STILL trying to get the execution improved.

I think our offense will be much better next year, As long as Tyrik gets it going. I think everyone that was at the game saw what Benton, and Blake did once they finally got the ball. With the addition of Goodwin, and Richardson we should have a great young receiving core that will mesh with a young talented QB. Hopefully we can pack the team with depth so our Wideouts dont have to play kick and punt coverage next year. Oh yea and the running game no concerns there as usual.

Yeah I don't know how much better we'll be with a freshman QB but every other position will be improved.

Except RB. Big dropoff in RB with Tate leaving.

Now if the defense would show up like in years past, it'll equate into some wins.

I have to be honest that I thought a Chizik led team would be leading some defensive catagories this season. You can attribute the reason to an extreme lack of depth though.

No offense, but you guys need to quit looking at stats by total yards, because you've played 1 more game than most everybody else... most teams have only played 9, while AU has played 10. All you have to do to get the right stats is click on per game at the top. Still, the balance is pretty incredible.

Good point there GU. We do have one more game under our belt than most other teams.

As for the balance... that's just freaking awesome. That aspect to system is what I love about it the most. Being a balanced team is a huge advantage. In years past teams have been able to focus on our running game as the best way to try and beat us. With this balanced attack, that is no longer the case. What I'm really looking forward to is when Malzahn has the right personnel to where he can really run his full system. As it is now we still have to slow down sometimes to change players. When he gets things like he wants them, this offense will wear defenses down in a hurry.

im looking forward to the Auburn Defense of years past, im tired of the fact we have to play base 4-3 regardless of what the opposing team is running

hopefully that changes next year

The title is most balanced in the nation which the stats prove.

On basically a technicality of having an extra game, nothing to brag about. Honestly though you can take pride in a complete reversal of last season, but like I mentioned earlier, the defense is a complete reversal also.

Have to get my shots in while I can before the Iron Bowl.
